Abstract
"Introduction: Obstructive airway disease and psychological comorbidities share some common clinical outcomes, such as impaired physical activity and quality of life.
Aim: To evaluate levels of depression and the determinants of impaired physical activity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) subjects.
Materials and Methods: This study included 120 adults (aged between 40-80 years) with diagnosis of COPD, who were evaluated for perception of dyspnea {St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)} and Hamilton depression scale. The level of physical activity was assessed by the modified Baecke questionnaire (mBQ) and Quality of Life by Short Form-36 Questionnaire (SF 36). The Student’s t-test, as well as multivariate linear regression analysis, was used for the statistical analysis.
Results: The prevalence of depression was 80%, with female sex predilection. Depression was predominant in the age group of 46-55 years. Mean scores (±SD) of depression of total participants and the physically impaired ones were 14.22±7.56 and 19.04±5.37, respectively. The level of physical activity (mean modified Baecke questionnaire score±SD) of total participants and the physically impaired ones were 4.22±0.72 and 3.7±0.36 respectively. The determinants of impaired physical activity were CAT Score, BMI, Six-minute walk distance (6MWD), Depression, Quality of life (PCS SF36) and the length of stay in ward in the regression analysis.
Conclusion: The present study found that depression, quality of life and physical activity of life are important entities for the management of COPD subjects."
